Tariff for service under this Rate Schedule.
2. APPLICABILITY AND CHARACTER OF SERVICE
This Rate Schedule shall apply to Gas made available by Shipper
to Panhandle under firm, interruptible or third party transportation
agreements at the PS Point and nominated for Storage under this Rate
Schedule, subject to the General Terms and Conditions herein and the
further provisions of the Service Agreement. In addition, where
Shipper is utilizing a third party to make Gas available for Storage
under this Rate Schedule, the Shipper may designate as the PS Point
an off-system Market Area Storage Facility that Panhandle has leased
from a third party, subject to operational feasibility, the terms and
conditions applicable to Panhandle's agreement with the third party
providing the off-system storage, the General Terms and Conditions
herein, and the further provisions of the Service Agreement.
The service provided hereunder consists of the injection of
Shipper's Gas into Storage at the PS Point during the Summer Period,
Storage in Panhandle's Market Area Storage Facilities and the
subsequent withdrawal from Storage at the PS Point, during the Winter
Period, all on a firm basis. Injections must be scheduled in
accordance with the schedule set out in the Service Agreement, which
schedule shall be subject to annual revision by Panhandle to reflect
the cycling requirements of Storage available to Panhandle.

Quantity. On any Day during the Summer Period, if the PS Stored
Volume is at or above the monthly scheduled amount, injections may be
suspended by Shipper. The monthly injection schedule will be
supplied to each Shipper prior to the Summer Period injection cycle.
Winter Period injections will be permitted on an interruptible basis,
subject to Panhandle's management of Storage to preserve
deliverability. Maximum Daily Withdrawal Quantities shall be in

not unduly discriminatory basis to certain differing levels in
Shipper's Maximum Stored Quantity for specified periods during the
term of the Service Agreement. The effective period of each Maximum
Stored Quantity level shall be specified in the executed Service
Agreement. Available withdrawal quantities will vary according to
